<p>The study evaluates the contribution of technological cooperation between asymmetrical firms to reduce the digital divide. To do this, we assess the impact of technological alliances between Euro-Mediterranean firms on ICTs appropriation by especially Tunisian firms. But it mustn’t be studied independently of strategic and demographic contexts. The article presents a quantitative study based on a survey which was conducted among a sample of 155 companies. We led logistic multinomial regressions to estimate the model and valid the hypothesis.</p>LjImen TLICH

<p>This conceptual article proposes a new research model to examine the relationship between Peer Group Interaction and Training Effectiveness. It is hypothesized that the relationship between Peer Group Interaction and Training Effectiveness will be moderated by conducive Transfer Climate and positive Training Motivation. The article begins with a description of the enormous investments done and the accompanying ambiguity in the field of Training and Development to establish the need for studying Training Effectiveness. Further, the theoretical background of each variable is explained in detail. Based on the recent studies in this field, alternate arguments are deduced and a new model for research is proposed. Finally, the plausible limitations of the proposed model is discussed and the article concludes by asserting that the variables in study are lesser focused but easier to implement in real time.</p>Varun Elembilassery

<p>This study aims to identify effect of application of e-government with its dimensions (cost reduction, HR efficiency, transparency, and service quality) on the job performance with its dimensions (task completion, job loyalty and staff compliance) in the Greater Amman Municipality. The study uses the descriptive analytical method (theoretical and field), and (245) questionnaires were distributed to all administrative staff in the Municipality. The study shows a number of results; the most important of which are that there is an evident effect of application of e-government on the staff performance, compliance of employees with regulations and instructions, and the transactions are characterized by accuracy and quality unlike the situation in the past. The study recommends that it is necessary to increase incentives so that staff's loyalty gets greater, and that it is important to make ongoing improvement to maintain the present distinct performance level.</p>Suzan Darwazeh, Diana Khrisat, Sherien Al Dajah
